There are the regular surveys from Stack Exchange http://stackoverflow.com/research/developer-survey-2016#tech... that has OS X, Windows, and Linux pretty close together, with OS X coming on top.

All versions of Windows together are 22.5+20.8+8.4+0.4+0.1 = 52.2 %

OSX has 26.2, Linux 21.7.

They sum to 100.1. There should be some inconsistent rounding somewhere.

If the figures are representative of reality it's true that Windows is less popular among developers than it is among the general public.

Ah, I was on mobile and it made a very different impression there for some reason. Thanks for pointing it out.
